FOr the Portlights check out

on the Baba website.

Replacement portlight rubber, black, 5/16" square, is available in 50
ft cartons. Cost is approx. $2.12/ft. Part #SAL PL-56B. Glue is not
required to hold it in place. Be sure the ends join at the top of the
port. Can be ordered from:
Fawcett Boat Supplies Inc.
Annapolis MD.

I just got 25 ft of it to see if it actually works. I haven't done
it yet but I will post my experience.
